Oh I did the exact same. Even If there were no subsidies for anyone I would’ve bought an electric scooter as I don’t mind doing my part.
But being that my taxes pay for others subsidies and not myself… I bought the cheapest second hand scooter I could find
How about if you are 70 years old and a NWOHR national can you get a discount in any public transpo?
It has been almost a year since this thread started. Have there been any reactions on this issue?
Last I heard, no.
No, there wasn’t a big enough response from the community to take this forward.
AFAIK no foreigners can be classified as disabled here, even those permanent residents paying NIH who have gone on to develop chronic diseases, which I find absolutely appalling and disgustingly discriminatory. This has all kinds of serious ramifications for them in accessing appropriate care and is a huge financial burden for them.
This is a much bigger issue than senior citizens discounts.

share and sign the petition to the government!!
I filed a complaint, was told too bad so sad.
You’re right, unless there is a groundswell of complaints, things don’t go anywhere
Rather than filing a complaint with transportation providers, can legal action be taken?
I mean, isn’t this a discriminatory policy?
That’s the thing, I’d love to go all out on a lawsuit, but this isn’t cheap. I figure I’d rather first work towards dual citizenship to be more efficient with the impact given the fact that we don’t have unlimited resources.
Could the new Social Welfare Basic Law help in this case?
The new law… covers [all areas of social welfare] such as social insurance, health care, employment and public housing…
From another article:
The law stipulates that the country should recognize that Taiwan is a multicultural society, and that citizens have equal opportunities to receive social welfare regardless of gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, ability, region, ethnicity, religious belief, political philosophy, socioeconomic status, and other conditions.
I guess the key word here is citizens. In most countries, these kinds of laws would also apply to PR’s.
Yeah, the writing there seems to make it pretty clear that it’s just talking about multiculturalism and equal opportunities for Taiwanese. 
Petition getting in the news 
A group of foreign residents with disabilities in Taiwan created a petition calling on the Ministry of Health and Welfare (MOHW) to enable permanent foreign residents to qualify for a disability certificate.
Just registered.
It is interesting that a foreigner that is disabled can’t travel the HSR with a disabled discount ticket but if an able foreigner accompanies a disabled Taiwanese they get the discount.
Really shows how the govt views foreigners
It’s probably because disabled Taiwanese complained about having to pay full price for their foreign slaves caregivers?
Yeah, I’ve done it too.
Seconded too
Share in your social media as well. That’s how I found the petition .
No dumb questions here, all ideas welcome.
So, as I understand it there are three kinds of relief that can be sought through law in Taiwan. I am not a lawyer.
might work
